Nach positiver Absolvierung der Lehrveranstaltung sind Studierende in der Lage, Konzepte und Prinzipien des Quantum Computing formal korrekt zu beschreiben,  klassische Quantenalgorithmen zu beschreiben und zu analysieren sowie diese Algorithmen für andere Problemstellungen adaptierten.

From the contents:

• Introduction and overview
• Mathematical background
• Principles of quantum mechanics
• Quantum gates and quantum circuits
• Simple quantum algrotihms (Deutsch, Deutsch & Josza, Bernstein & Vazirani, search in an unstructured database, determining the period of a function)
• Programming paradigms and languages for quantum computing

The course is comprised of a lecture part and an exercise part. For the latter, students need to solve exercises from a given number of exercise sheets and present their solutions. Moreover, some problems have to be solved by implementing programs for quantum computers.

Attention:

• First lecture: March 6!

ECTS breakdown: 6 ECTS = 150 Hours

• Lecture 24h
• Exercise groups 7h
• Preparing the exercise sheets 40h
• Preparing the programming examples 27h
• Preparation for exam 50h
• Exam 2h

The grade is based on an evaluation of the exercise part and a final exam (oral or written).

Linear algebra from the bachelor lectures, complex numbers not required but helpful.
